Palm Sunday: From Praise to Punishment | Mike Stone on Jesus' Sacrifice

Behind The Mike Podcast

Christians place a great deal of importance on the birth of Jesus at Christmas, and His death and resurrection at Easter (or Resurrection Sunday). Without either of these world-changing events, our faith would be worthless.
As we look at Palm Sunday, Mike Stone takes us back to the scripture to remind us of the reason we celebrate this holiday, which is closely associated with Easter/Resurrection Sunday.
We look primarily at the Gospel of John, chapter 12, verses 1-19. It begins in the town of Bethany--the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. They were close friends of Jesus. Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus, which attracted the attention of those Bethany and the nearby city of Jerusalem. Everyone was familiar with Jesus as the Messiah, even the Pharisees and religious leaders in Jerusalem. However, the Pharisees were not fans of Jesus. In fact, it was on this visit to Bethany that they learned He would be visiting Jerusalem. They began to plot the details of His death.
The final week of Jesus' life on earth would begin with a joyous celebration by those who knew Him. Many had experienced His miracles and His teachings.
Within a few short days, the Lamb of God would fulfill His mission to the world--to become the ultimate sacrifice that would bring humankind back into a right relationship with God. It would only be possible by the blood of a sinless, perfect man in the form of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
As we celebrate Palm Sunday, the Holy Week, and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us find time each day to reflect on what this week means to us as Christ-followers.
